Waypoints for Navigation

For those wo prefer to navigate with waypoints we have included those for navigation in the Baltic Sea, Kattegat and Skagerrak. Please note that no liability will be taken for correctness and accuracy nor will we guarantee to supply regular updates. Like on any set of waypoints it is the sole responsibility of the master of a vessel to check whether the waypoints used are up-to-date, correct and correctly put into any navigational device. Each file is available in a number of formats to make them fit to many units.

There is no world-wide standard for waypoint files, hence a number of data formats exist. Should you do not find any of the formats useful you may try to contact us via the Contact page, we may be able to transfer these files into other formats free-of-charge but with no guaranty that they will work.

These waypoint sets are listed for the type of device to be used in. GPX files relate to modern Garmin units ready to accept this file type. KMZ files are for Google-based applications. To transfer these waypoints into your plotter, GPS unit or PC equipped with your plotting software please follow the instructions of your device.

We have left the same files on more formats, some of them are regarded legacy formats to-day (e.g. the old Garmin .TXT format). A number of routines may be used for transfer. Format for data files provided here is for transfer to old but frequently used GARMIN® GPS units or FUGAWI® plotting software up to FUGAWI V4.5. Fugawi V5 will accept .GPX and .KMZ files

An upload of the legacy files may be done by using
a) GARMIN® proprietary software, which will read the .txt files , so you should be able to upload the data from your PC to your GARMIN® GPS with the software provided by GARMIN®. Once the waypoints have been transferred to your GPS you should be able to download the waypoints to practically any plotter or device as long this is able to communicate with a GARMIN GPS® unit. If the number of entries are limited on your GPS (as it is the case on older GPS units from the 1990'ies) you may have to run the files individually (this is why they are there for various areas). None of the area-specific files should exceed 250 waypoints in the listing, except where stated.

b) FUGAWI® up to V4.5 will be able to load and transfer the content of the .WPT files directly to any GPS. This function is the most convenient as the FUGAWI® program only needs to be able to load the waypoint file(s). As FUGAWI® then takes control of the interface to the GPS this ascertains that it will work with your respective GPS unit practically independent of its make, as long as FUGAWI® supports the unit.

c) Another approach is using simple software packages like GARDOWN. This is run in an MS-DOS® Window (see for more more information to GARDOWN and similar programs) operating on Microsoft Windows® computers up to Microsoft Windows XP®. It will work with a serial interface or any serial- to-USB port certified to be fully compatible for up- and download data. Note, most simple serial-to-USB converters will enable a PC or equivalent to receive data from a GPS but will be unable to send data as the proprietary protocols used by the GPS manufacturers seem to interfere.

If you do not feel comfortable working with MS-DOS® anymore you might try to use GARTRIP, a Microsoft Windows® based software package, which can be used against a small fee.

d) You may be able to download the files to your PC and then convert the files provided into a large number of other formats using the primary program for this purpose, GPS BABEL. Check compatibility.

These are some ideas for data transfer to use these files. In case you face major problems on any of these processes do not hesitate to ask for support by using the contact document.

Please note that these files are not related to any commercial supply. They are available free of charge.
